hello girls,

mel - I know exactly what you mean. We have a house on the beachfront in Manly and when we lived there the first year we hardly ever went to the beach/swim in the ocean. It was really silly. Everyone kept saying "Oh, it must be so wonderful. You guys must be on the beach all the time" but we weren't. So the second year we made a conscious effort to go for a walk every day along the beach and enjoy beach life a bit more. But like you said: you look out the window, it's there.... you can go tomorrow... lol
Sorry - I meant Wolf is walking by holding my hands, not on his hands (bad English...) that would be a trick! Though he is good at doing the yoga downward facing dog
It's so great Eliana went to bed like that. Well, we tried the 'controlled crying' / 'self settling' last night. Wolf also went to sleep after about 20-25 mins. But he woke twice last night at 1:30 and at 3 and at 3 was totally inconsolable and really clingy... couldn't get him back to sleep and had to b/f him to sleep... arggg.. won't give up on it though. They say it takes 3 days, so hopefully tonight will be better.

Dachlostar - well, you do have a point... kinda would be wasted effort to get your figure back only to lose it again, but I just haven't worn any nice clothes in such a long time because of my different sized boobs, would have liked to look nice for a few months...

Colleen that avatar is new! It's fabulous! Do you ride motorbikes? What kind?

The weather has cooled down here and I'm really grateful for it. The house was really quite warm and it was hard to sleep at night.

I've got a question: who in the group here as given their babies a) meat and b) fish??

Snowy

Welcome to the group, Tash! I second Dachlostar on all the questions
